Notice:  Important change in Processing Fees

The Department of Citizenship and Immigration charges fees to partially recover the cost of providing certain services to the public.

Processing fees are not refunded for refused or withdrawn applications. Since the processing fee helps defray the cost of processing your application it cannot be refunded even if your application is unsuccessful.

Fees are payable in Canadian dollars or Indian Rupees. Only bank drafts (demand drafts) or certified cheques are accepted; cash is not accepted for fee payment. The bank draft should be made for the exact amount and in favour of "Canadian High Commission" or "Receiver General for Canada" payable at New Delhi.

Please note that VFS service charge fees are not included in the cost of processing temporary visa applications.

If the incorrect amount or an invalid payment method is used, your application will be returned to you without processing.
